"Shopkeeper Liu, didn't you drink anything today?"
"Hey! Don't drink? Is that my character? I went out this morning with two pounds of beer!"
"Well, I'm about the same. Ever since I tasted this beer, I really can't stop drinking it. I suddenly feel like drinking Qingfeng wine is not enough!"
"No! Especially since the weather is getting hotter and hotter, a few sips of beer will be so refreshing...!"
On the streets of Xianyang City, two well-dressed middle-aged men chatted animatedly while walking.
In addition to them, there were many men and women chatting about beer.
Since beer has a low alcohol content and is very refreshing, it is also very popular among women!
At the same time, an energetic and well-equipped team entered the city.
It was an army led by Han Xin who went west to conquer the Qiang.
They just got off the train and walked from the train station outside Xianyang City towards the palace!
Before that, Ying Feiyu led his troops on an expedition, and when he returned in triumph, Ying Zheng would personally lead all the officials to greet him!
But Han Xin was a young general after all and could not afford such a big battle, so he sent several important officials there!
The people who were originally discussing cheered when they saw the Qin army entering the city in triumph.
But the topics they discussed before were clearly heard by Wang Li, Fan Kuai and others!
During the time they were on the expedition, although the food was good, they really didn't drink at all, for fear of causing trouble!
So after they returned to Xianyang, the one thing they wanted to do most was to have a good drink and have a good night's sleep!
"Lao Peng, Lao Peng, did you hear that some of these people are talking about...beer?"
Fan Kuai came close to Peng Yue and murmured quietly.
He hasn't tasted wine for a long time, so he is very sensitive to the word wine. As long as someone mentions it even slightly, his ears seem to move and he can't help but pay attention!
"Well, don't say it, it seems that there is such a word!"
Peng Yue nodded in response.
"Yes, yes, I heard it too! It seems that I heard the people saying that this wine is very good!"
Wang Li slowed down and came over with interest.
"That's not right! There are only three types of wine in Prince Winery. Where did this beer come from?"
Fan Kuai scratched his head suspiciously.
"Could it be a new thing developed by some wine shop?"
"Wouldn't that mean competing for business with our prince?"
"Looking at the way the people were talking about beer just now, they seemed to be very interested!"
"We have only been walking for a few months, and have there been such big changes in the city?"
The three of them rode horses and followed Han Xin, muttering softly.
"These people are really just outsiders. Have they forgotten how kind His Highness the Crown Prince is to them? They actually went to support others!"
Fan Kuai said angrily.
"That's right! Even if I, Lao Peng, never drink alcohol in my life, I won't touch this beer!"
Peng Yue became more energetic as he talked, holding his neck and shouting, attracting a lot of attention.
The officials sent to pick him up were also stunned.
Isn't this guy a confidant of His Royal Highness? Why do you act like you have so much grudge against the prince?
Determined not to touch beer?
Have you ever had beer? Do you know what beer is?
However, they just think about these words in their hearts and never dare to say them out!
These guys at the front must have made a lot of contributions this time and will have a bright future. They must not be offended!
Amid the cheers of the people, the Qin army went all the way to the palace, met with Ying Zheng, and reported the victory in detail!
Next came the celebration banquet. Ying Zheng, Han Xin, Wang Li, Peng Yue and other people who had made greater contributions stayed in the palace to attend the banquet.
It's time for others to go home and rest. The court will formulate corresponding rewards based on each person's merits, so just wait quietly!
Needless to say, if they wipe out the entire Qiang tribe, everyone will be rewarded!
But this reward is different from before.
After all, going into battle to kill the enemy is no longer as dangerous as it used to be. If you kill a person and give a huge reward, then all the soldiers in the Qin Dynasty may get knighthoods!
Especially for artillerymen, dozens or even hundreds of lives will be lost in one bombardment.
In one battle, at least hundreds or even thousands of people would be killed.
Therefore, after thermal weapons were widely used, the reward system was specially modified!
"Han Xin! Well done. You led the army with great momentum and wiped out the entire Qiang tribe for me. From now on, it will be up to you to expand the territory of Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng laughed heartily and kept praising him.
If it weren't for Ying Feiyu's recommendation, he would never have thought that this young soldier would have such talent!
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the second Wuchenghou of Great Qin in the future!
"Here, pour the wine!"
When the dishes were almost ready, Ying Zheng called the waiter to serve wine for everyone.
Needless to say, it must be the beer just developed by the brewery!
Seeing the light yellow liquid being poured into the wine baron, Han Xin and others were stunned!
"What kind of wine is this?"
Han Xin asked the waiter who poured the wine in a low voice.
"Back to General, here's beer!"
"beer?"
When Peng Yue heard the sound, he frowned immediately and stayed far away, as if the wine baron contained poison instead of wine.
Fan Kuai and Wang Li were both the same, they had no intention of drinking at all!
"I don't know who brews this beer. The wine is sold to the palace. Is it possible that this person is more noble than the prince?"
Peng Yue whispered softly to the two of them.
"Yes! What should we do now? Your Majesty will propose a toast later. Should we drink it or not?"
Wang Li's words really stopped Peng Yue in his tracks.
He just let it go in public. Even if he never drinks in this life, he will never drink beer!
Now that Ying Zheng is toasting, what should he do?
Not drinking?
That means resisting and disobeying the order, and the following is an offense!
drink?
So what does what he just said mean?
fart?
"You all have been working hard all the way for my country, Great Qin. Thank you for your hard work! Come on, do it!"
As expected, Ying Zheng picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he showed a very happy expression!
Han Xin didn't hear the murmurs of the previous people, so he drank all the wine in the wine bar, and then continued to praise him!
However, Peng Yue, Fan Kuai and Wang Li were stunned and did not move.
This move naturally attracted Ying Zheng's attention, and he asked with a tigerish face, "What? Could it be that the wine doesn't suit your taste?"
"Your Majesty, I have never drunk this drink before, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
"Then what do you mean?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled.
Even Ying Feiyu doesn't understand. These guys have always been good at drinking. Now that they have new wine, why can't they still drink it?
Aren't you afraid of offending your scumbag dad?
"Back to Your Majesty, I, Peng Yue, am today thanks to the care of the prince. I once said on the street that no matter how good the wine is made by anyone else except the prince's winery, I will never touch it!"
Peng Yue thought about it again and again, and said it bluntly without fear of offending Ying Zheng.
Even if it is a political crime, we must support the prince!
